Mesotherapy in aesthetic medicine

Abstract

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique which involves microinjections of mixture of compounds into the mesoderm or middle layer of the skin to treat local medical and a variety of cosmetic conditions. Although mesotherapy has been available for over 60 years, its position in the therapeutic armamentarium is debatable. However, it is gaining huge publicity and popularity worldwide. In view of the increasing demand for noninvasive cosmetological procedures, mesotherapy has attracted a lot of interest from both physicians and general public alike. A present mesotherapy has to be used judiciously and cautiously as there is a lot of controversy regarding its efficacy and safety.
